Pt 2: Same Ish Different Day

Feeling a little withdrawn from her family, Gizelle went to go see her brother. He never calls and she began to wonder if he felt any family connections at all. They talked to hours, and she realized that he has been doing well for himself no girlfriend yet but he was happy.

She couldn't say the same for herself however, she felt the fire from her marriage slipping away. Amelio was now committed to reaching the top in his career and she has been left behind to care for the children. This is not what she wanted.

But Nathanial was unfazed by what was going on, he found comfort in a toy some relative sent from china. Gizelle didn't even know they had relatives in china.

Amelio would come home at night and read his son a bedtime story before he settled in. He hardly had time to talk with Gizelle as he was always so tired from the games. This made her suspicious, was there someone else was he using work as an excuse?

In the morning she got Nathanial ready, she had planned to take him to see his father at work, what she really wanted to see was if he was working at all.

But as they were passing the park Nathanial made a big fuss, he wanted to play so she had no choice. As she was watching Nathanial Gizelle started to think about her sister Natasha, she had been avoiding her ever since the bbq at her house. Whenever she tried to call, she was always too busy or on her way out. She tried calling last week when she heard Selena moved out but no one answered.

Bree had finally grown into a teen, she was the talk of the school a lot of boys wanted to date her but she had a rebellious side. Olive was at her wits end, she no longer knew what to do about Bree and was considering sending her away. Bree refused to entertain the idea and told her mother she would rather live under a bridge than go to a prep school.

Yes life became routine, Gizelle and Amelio still loved each other but there was something missing. But soon she would find out that her life was about to get just a little bit fuller.

Chapter Six

Later on that week Gizelle went into labor, she was looking for her loving husband but he was no-where to be found. She had no choice but to head to the hospital alone.

The girls went to bed early, Gizelle and Amelio had decided to send them to a private school, the girls were not excited about it at first but soon changed their minds after they visited the school.

After several hours Gizelle brought home a healthy baby boy Nathanial. She should have been over joyed but instead she was very tired. Having not being able to go to work made her a little unhappy.

The next morning the girls were off to school, their parents wanted to give them a ride but arriving at a new school in a limo doesn't make you friends.

Stephanie didn't have the same enthusiasm as Maggie, she was a bit nervous about making friends. No matter how many times her parents said she was beautiful she just felt different.

It was back to their regular routine, but Amelio had something else in mind. He wasn't finished having children, he knew if he brought it up Gizelle would only shoot down the idea so he thought it would be best not to mention it and cross his fingers.

Pt 7: Forbidden

Gizelle found herself once again head first in the toilet, this time it was worse. She hasn't been sleeping and barely even eating. Between the kids and her being sick she was about to loose her mind. But she had to keep it together, the girls party would be starting soon and she had to get things ready.

Bree has been having trouble in school, she was sent home for putting paint on the teachers chair and peanuts in the hamster food. Olive was not happy being called away from work to deal with her. Bree threw a fit and ran into the house.

Soon everyone arrived, Natasha was happy to see her old piano still where it was. She missed playing and entertained the guests with a song.

Everyone was moved, the notes echoed throughout the house making everything seem like a dream.

Outside it was time for Stephanie and Maggie to grow up, it seemed that only Genevieve was the only one who could pry herself away from the music inside the house.

The show must go on, and the girls aged up well. As soon as they were able, they ran off to do whatever they wanted to do. They didn't stick around to take a photo.

Gizelle was now cursing having to be running to the bathroom all day. This was just crazy she just wanted it to be over.

Bree continued to act out, she spent most of the time by herself. Most of her cousins were here but she prefered to play alone.

Once Maggie changed her clothes she was eager to play with her cousin Bree, it didn't take long before the girls started hitting each other with pillows. Maggie thought this was fun but for Bree it was therapeutic.

As the night started to fall Natasha's mood started to change, she sat outside in the yard deep into her music. Her heart was heavy and it reflected in the notes she played, pain sorrow and grief kissed the keys as she played them with her delicate fingers. She was so into it she didn't realize the tears had started to fall or hear when Amelio called her name.

The moonlight caressed her face giving it a soft glow and making her features soft and sad. She jumped up to greet Amelio and accidentally touched his hand, she blushed just slightly. She never really looked at Amelio before and didn't notice how beautiful his eyes were and how they glowed in the moonlight. He asked her if she was alright and if she needed anything, that gesture of kindness melted her and released yet another tear. He wiped it away, and she sighed, this was wrong what she was feeling. This was her sisters husband, but she couldn't leave trapped in his eyes she closed hers and imagined a kiss, a kiss she could never have.

Pt 6: Daddy Day

After a long argument with Gizelle the night before, Amelio woke up alone feeling exhausted Gizelle must have left early so he was alone with the kids. It was the first time he had played with them and enjoyed hearing them laugh.

When Gizelle returned, he took Stephanie out for a walk. She was so excited to be out with her day she kept moving which made it hard to get her in the seat.

He wasn't sure where he was going, and was just enjoying the time away from the house. Then he remembered that a new park opened so he headed there.

It was beautiful, and child friendly, there were already people here playing in the playground and enjoying the nice weather.

Several people stopped him to ask for an autograph and take his picture. Stephanie didn't like it very much and started crying. In the park Selena and Serena were about to put on a performance, they had been practicing for their graduation party.

Amelio set Stephanie in the sandbox and started making hotdogs for everyone, he wasn't ready to go home as yet since Gizelle has been in a bad mood for the past few weeks.

Finally after a few hours he went home, Gizelle was not home. He felt a wave of sadness, it has been awhile since they had been close or even talked without arguing. When he tried to ask what he did wrong she just screamed and ran off to her sisters. He took Stephanie to her room and waited for his wife to come home.

Pt 5: From baby to Toddler

The next few months were very stressful, Gizelle was left to raise the twins basically on her own while Amelio was away playing a game.

Still she loved the girls and there was nowhere she would rather be.

When Amelio was home, he was so focused on working out he didn't even notice when it was time for the girls to become toddlers. She talked to her sisters and they assured her that he is only doing this to build a better life for them.

The girls aged up well, both Amelio and Gizelle worked together to make sure they learned their skills before it was too late.

Maggie was just a little sweetheart, she love to hug her parents and be tickled, Gizelle was so proud.

With Amelio constantly at work or away games Gizelle tried her best to hold it together, but things were just geting a little bit much for her. She hasn't left the house since the twins were born and she is now feeling a little crazy.

The girls waited patiently for their dinner, which she was grateful for, normally it is world war 2 in the kitchen when they haven't eaten. She was happy they were being angels, well for now.

After a long day, the best part was putting them down to sleep. She heaved a heavy sigh and took a long bath. Tomorow Amelio will be taking care of the kids.

Pt 4: Family Time

A few weeks later Gizelle was released from the hospital, she had a rare blood disorder that was conflicting with the baby so they had to medicate her. But now she was feeling much better and wanted to have her family over for a bbq.

Amelio didn't want her on her feet so much, but Gizelle refused to be a prisoner in her own home. she assured Amelio that she would be fine and wanted her family here.

Everyone arrived on time, the kids were running around the yard getting to know each other. Gizelle was so happy to see all the little ones together and knew that her child was going to be born into a good family. Selena kept her company and talked about a boy she liked in school, she wanted to know if she should talk to him.

The night went so well and everyone had a good time. Gizelle started to clean up but then suddenly felt strange. Not again she thought, but this time the pain was a lot more intense. Amelio had been watching in the living area and came rushing out when he seen her grasp her stomach. He didn't even wait he just scooped her in his arms and took her to the hospital.

Several painful hours later Maggie was born...

And so was Stephanie...

Pt 3: First Day

Gizelle woke up feeling so happy, she wasn't sure she wanted to be a mother at first but now she couldn't wait. She took some time off work and decided she was going to spend it outdoors.

Amelio was called out to sign autographs, while he was out he was distracted by a young girl telling a story about a woman who lost her love and how she never stopped looking for him and died without ever seeing him again.

Before she went to the park she stopped by Genevieves house to check on her sister. Justin was home alone She asked him if he would like to come with her to the park, he couldn't wait he grabbed his shoes and yelled for her to hurry up.

When Gizelle arrived at the park she ran into Nat, she told her of her pregnancy and asked her for some advice. Nat was happy to help, but seemed a little tired.

Before she could ask her sister what was wrong, a fan noticed her and asked if she would sign and autograph for him. Gizelle was happy to do so.

He was so grateful that he ran off to tell his friends. By the time she got back to her sister she told her she had to go but would call her later.

While Gizelle was getting Justin ice cream before she took him home, Genevieve called frantic. She tried to explain that when she arrived at her house he was alone, but her sister was hysterical and hung up the phone on her. Gizelle dropped her nephew off at home and decided it has been a long enough day.

She tried to relax but she just couldn't, suddenly she felt a pain, but it was too soon it wasn't time for the baby to come. She yelled out for Amelio and he quickly took her to the hospital.
